Frequently Asked Questions

How Do the Online Classes Work?

Once you register for a class, you will receive an email with instructions about how to log into your class portal. Any class you purchase will be available for you to access there.

The self-study courses vary from watching a prerecorded class and turning in an assignment to reading a book and posting assignments on a forum You can take the self-study class whenever you want and take as long as you want. Your classes remain in your portal for unlimited review.

The live interactive webinars with set dates use zoom. You will receive an invitation by email with a link to the class. You can call in on the phone like a conference call, or you can speak through the microphone and speakers of your computer. We can hear one another. Your microphone can be unmuted so you can speak and muted so we don’t hear disruptive background noise. If you use a web cam we can see one another. ( If you don’t have a camera no problem.) There is a chat box for typing in questions and comments to the presenter and/or to the other participants. You will see the PowerPoint presentation and whatever the presenter wants to show you as well as see the presenter.

If you feel any stress and worry about the prospect of joining an online live webinar for the first time, know that others who felt that way have been pleasantly surprised by how supportive and how simple it can be.
